Actually I found the answerpg_ctl supports a -w switch which waits for
the start operation to complete.
Decibel...without -w, pg_ctl will return immediately before postmaster is
fully operational. If you don't believe me start the engine and try to
connect to it right away with pgsql(1)...
Hi,
I am trying to measure startup time of postmaster. Say I have postmaster
running on -D /tmp/d1 and would like to restart it on -D /tmp/d2.
If I just say
time pg_ctl restart -D /tmp/d2
it will not produce an accurate result because pg_ctl will start postmaster
in the background and return
